when asked its use lines traded transfers ! books of company must be made public is ruling the expenditure of 100,000 by the chi i eago railways company in 1910 to obtain i the franchise under which it op.erates a part of its system was disclosed yesterday at the hearing of the suit of hie citizens of oa park and river forest to compel an j exchange of transfers by the defendant company and the county traction com pany how this large sum of money was ex pended was not shown by reason of a lapse of memory on the part of henry m blair chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago hallways company and an agreement forced by the company to save it from the scandal which it fears will result from publicity b f langttorthy the attorney in charge of the prosecution on behalf of the two tillages was made nn unwilling party to the agreement not to publish the de tails of the disbursement of the 100,000 he accepted the terms because he fonnd that it was a condition precedent to gain ing information which would benefit his clients but contrary to the expectations of the Chicago railways company when it consented to an examination of its books under the pledge of secrecy the evidence in the suit will compel the opening of its books to show how it spent money to obtain the franchise and what 3if position was made of the 12,000,000 turned over to andrew oooke in 1910 for the purchase of subsidiary companies hearing of suit adjourned the hearing of the suit was adjourned yesterday until monday it is expected that the truth concerning the big outlay of money by the tractlou company will hen be made public but the attorneys for the defendants are expected bitterly to oppose the introduction as evidence of an itemized statement of how 100,000 was disbursed to obtain a franchise on ac count of their expressed wish to arold a newspaper scandal mr blair as a witness yesterday was asked about the floo.ooo franchise items in the books of the Chicago railways company i do not recall the details of that he replied when pressed for an explanation he said j he presumed the amount had been paid out for attorneys fee he could furnish no further information he said andrew cooke who is said to have han-j died the 12,000,000 used in consolidation was asked last night about the manner in which the 100,000 ordinance item was spent he like mr blair could not re member details but said he was sure that it had been used for attorney's fees and ordinary expenses and had not been released from the treasury of the company for the purpose of influencing legislation langworthy has statement mr lansworthy said last night that he had in his possession a statement showing the items of expenditure of the 100,000 fund and regretted that he could not re lease it for publication when i asked for an itemized statement of expenditure he said the attorneys for the defense demurred and of course i had no way of obtaining it except with their nlssion and by agreeing to whatever is they might dictate i was told that one paramount condition upon which information woujd be furnished me was my pledge not to make the matter public t pledge i have made as reason for the traction company attorneys frank ated that they wished to prevent any newspaper scandals growing out of this is the testimony of mr blair and the i statement of mr cooke that the money was spent largely for attorneys fees in i accordance with the itemized amounts in i yonr possession mr langwoarthy was i quite to the contrary much less than half of the 100,000 went for attorney fees and you will not state into what chan nels the remainder of it was turned i am sorry but under the agreement i eannot i can say however that it would prove quite interesting to the publie it is to be a court record and probably will be available on monday other interesting disclosures regarding the inside methods of the Chicago hallways company and the county traction com pany were made at the hearing yesterday it was brought out that directly after de cember 27 1010 transfers were exchanged by the two companies tlii was during n period wlipn tlieir affairs were before the courts and jmijfe
